1. How strange is the one I never cease to love
And so it is with gathering gems from his words
١. عَجَباً لِأَهيَفَ لا عَدِمتُ وِصالَهُ
وَكَذا اِلتِقاطي مِن جَواهِرِ لَفظِهِ
2. No sooner do I see the water of life on his lips
Than I wet my breast with it in a glance
٢. ما إِن أَرى ماءَ الحَياةِ بِثَغرِهِ
إِلّا وَشِمت الحَتفَ مِنهُ بِلَحظِهِ
